Fresh Cheese with Honey
Ingredients
- 400 gFresh cheese (well drained)
- 4 tbspHoney (liquid)
- 50 gWalnut kernel (whole)
Method
A slice of fresh cheese with a soft, moist texture, drizzled with slow-pouring amber honey. Walnut halves provide the essential crunch to balance the dairy's sweetness.
- 1
Take the fresh cheese out of the refrigerator. Slice it into discs or wedges about 1.5 cm thick. The knife blade should glide through without tearing the cheese.
- 2
Arrange the cheese slices flat on a well-chilled plate. Ensure they don't overlap too much to make serving easier.
- 3
Drizzle the honey in a continuous, steady stream over the cheese. The honey should coat the surface and start to bead down the sides.
- 4
Coarsely crush the walnut halves between your fingers and scatter them over the honey. They should remain visible and add texture to the dish.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get this dish right?
- The cheese must be served very cold to contrast with the room temperature honey.
- If the honey is too thick, heat it for a few seconds so it regains its fluidity and coats the spoon properly.
- Drain the cheese perfectly on paper towels before slicing to prevent the whey from thinning the honey.
How long does this dish keep?
Consume immediately. Sliced cheese can be kept for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an airtight container without the honey.
